Often I go wandering and lock onto something else in a system, It's tedious to have to scroll down in the NAV-PANEL's waypoints to locate the final destination and "LocK" it in order to continue with the Flight Plan, especially if its a multi leg/waypoint journey. If there was a selectable "GoTo" just above the Destination, (left side in Nav panel), then it would be easy and quick to instruct the NAV computer "Go from present position To Destination", and the multi leg journey is resumed with minimal fuss.
This is how navigation is done in reality on aircraft, if a pilot deviates from course/flight plan due to weather the FMS (Flight Management System) will illuminate the enter button, after avoiding weather the pilot then selects GoTo and line selects on the FMS "xyz waypoint" and hits enter (simple to resume course after a deviation), unfortunately pilots must make position reports at specified waypoints hence they cant just say GoTo Destination.
Please Paint the landing pad numbers on the Landing Pad, This will make finding the assigned Landing Pad easier and quicker from any angle, especially vertically. The one dimensional holographic display is only discernible during horizontal approaches, and the numbers don't reverse when approaching from the wrong side. The inability to locate the assigned Landing Pad at a distance from any approach path is really frustrating and ANNOYING.
The inconsistency of the landing Pad's position within Stations is also puzzling, sometimes 16 is near the entrance and sometimes it's "over there", or is it intentional to have a illogical variable Pad positioning system to mess with pilots ?.
At a minimum please add a little down arrow or up arrow next to the HUD Pad number to indicate if the pad is at the entrance or "deeper in". when docking in a Station.
